Yeah. i was thinking the camber might be a touch off too because it aapears to be putting alot of pressure and wear on the inside of that tire in general. ordered new tires today after seeing that. Thanks for the input

Camber isnt going to chew up tires like that. Camber + toe will...you can be certain that your toe is > 1/8 degree
